My invention relates to a new and improved necktie and method of makingthe same.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide an improved necktiewhich shall not require a filler orlining strip.

not lose its shape, and can be readily ironed.

Other objects of my invention will be setforth in the followingdescription and draw ings which illustrates a preferred embodl 'mentthereof, it being understood that the 1 above general statement of theobjects .of my inventionis intended merely to generally ex plain thesame and not to limit it in any man- Fig. 1 illustrates a. firstembodiment of my invention employing that type of weave which is calledthe taffeta trade. y

and 3 illustrate thesame weave shown in Fig. 1, and they showconsecutive stages in the interweaving of the fabrics tov form thecomposite fabric.

Figs. e45 inclusive are similar to Figs. 1%. inclusive. They illustratethat type of weave designated by the trade 'as the serge type.

Figs. 79 inclusive are similar to Figs. 1E3.

They illustrate the use ofwhat is known in the trade as the satin weave.

It has heretofore been customary to provide filler or lining stripsforneckties. ""The use of these filler-or lining strips added to theexpense of making the necktie, and made it difficult to iron thenecktie.

According to my'invention, the necktie con sists of a composite fabricwhich prefgrably.

comprises a silk facing and a worsted backteing, which isin'terwovenwith the'said siik weave by the y A e words, each worsted thread W willcorrefacing.- The weft thread is also preferabl made of worsted. Therelatively thin silk warp threads S may be considered as being diyidedinto groups'eachof which corresponds to a relatively thick thread W madeof wor- 5 sted. This can be done by arranging'the silk threads Sin anupper warp, and by arranging the worsted threads W in a lower warp,

each group of the silk threads S corresponding to a worsted threadcomprising a single group of the reed. v

While I do not wish to restrict myself to any particular thickness ortype of silk thread or of worsted thread, I have found it suitable tohave each silk thread 8 consist of threethread silk of any suitable typesuch as that known in the trade as organzine from No.

40-45 Denier gage. The thickness of this thread is equal to thatofordinary 120' cotton thread, it being understood that No. 1 cottonthread has 840 yards to the pound. The worsted thread V] is preferablyNo. -two ply worsted yarn which is warp twisted, having from twenty totwenty-six turns to the inch.

I prefer to arrange the silk threads in the upper warp so that therewill be 400 of such threads per inch, while there will be about 40of-the worsted threads W per inch. In other spond to a group of ten silkthreads S.

' in the embodiment shown in Figs. 13, the taffeta type of weave isemployed in which the weft thread W divides each group of silk threads Sinto two sub-groups having equal numbers.

Forexample, considering Fig. 1, the weft thread W passes between thefirst groups of ten silk threads S so as toform an upper sub.- groupoffive threads and a; lower sub-group of five threads. The said weftthread W then passes around the first worsted thread W and it continuesto form the weave previously mentioneduntil it has reached the end ofthe warp.

Upon the return stroke of the shuttle, that 12 a type of weave which isdesignated in the trade as the serge type is formed. In the serge? typeof wea the weft thread W engages one-third of the silk threads S. Forexample, in the return stroke of the shuttle, it may be assumed that thesilk threads are divided --into groups of twelve and that the weftthread W- engages four silk threads out of weave is completed in the"ordinary manner as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 causing the] V wft thread" topass around different sub groups of the silk' threads, to complete theconnection between all the silk threads, and all the worstedthreads. Inthe embodiment shownv in Figs. 4 and 6, the forward stroke of theshuttle forms What is known as the serge type of weave, in which theweft thread lVengages onethird of the silk threads S. The return weayeis also as'erge weave, and the'weavingpf the fabric {iscOmpleted withthis type of weave in the well known manner, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6'.p

In the embodiment shown in Figs. 7 9, the satin.-type of weaveis'employed in the for- Ward stroke of the shuttle. In this embodimeritit may be assumed that the silk threads are dlvided 1n groups of ten.and that two threads of each said group of ten are interlaced by theworsted weft thread W, in the forward'stroke of the shuttle. The sergetype of weave is also employed in the rear ward strokegof the shuttle.The composite fabric thus formedis cut into suitable shape and itisturned and the thereof are finished. with a suitable overcast stitch C,as"

fabric, upon iron the tie. [is shown in l l0,the stitches (1' do notpass through thefabric itself. On

' the contrary, thcy only pass through the stitches C which projectslightlyfroni the edges ofthe fabric.

By selecting a backing material of suiiioient weight, a strong anddurable necktie is providedwhich keeps its shape for a long time. Silkcrushes or wrinkles very easily.

lvorstcd is a relatively resilient and non.-

crushablc material. Hence, the composite necktieretains its shape for along time. It is to be understood that the illustrations 1 of the weaveare diagrammatic, because the worsted weft thread W is concealed by thesilk'threads S. That is, in actual practice, successive portions 'ofthefiller thread are straight, and they are arranged laterally to thelength of the cloth. The drawings are back layer.

, mamas threads, interwoven with'a weft thread, and that both saidlayers are sufficiently interlocked or interwoven to impart to the silkface layer thelesistancento.crushing of the Numerous well known typesof.

weaves would be effective for this purpose.

It will be noted that the filler is made of worsted material ofsufficient weight to add of a separate lining or filler, because thenecktie can be pressed and dry-cleaned. as

often as desired and stains canbe removed therefrom. Since the materialis cut on the bias, it isstretchable. vLikewise,.the stitches Ccan-stretch because they .passthrough the loops of the overcaststitches. It would not be departing from the invention if said stitchesC penetrated theextreme edgesof the fabric because said finishingstitches C could still stretch.

Likewise, the absence of a projecting seam,

makes it easy to iron the necktie.

I have shown a preferred embodinientof my invention, but it is clearthat numerous changes and omissions can be made without departing fromthe spirit of my invention.
